Really hard to tell, but my guess is that it's good old capitalism at work.
Supply and demand and all that stuff. All we have to do is look at the
investments made in tracks, and price that people are willing to pay for
tickets. I don't blame the tracks one bit for making all the money they can --
it sure beats having them go broke like a lot of tracks did in the past.
However, being a budget-limited participant rather than a spectator, I sure hope
the number of events for us doesn't shrink, and since I have decided that I'm
going to race until I physically can't, no matter what the dollar cost, I hope
the entry fees don't screw my kids out of at least a little inheritance. Wonder
what the Road America entry fee will be this year.
Come on, Nasdaq!!!!
